Stable Water Level at KRS Reservoir Allows Regular Releases to Tamil Nadu
Normal rainfall in the Cauvery irrigation region has kept the Krishnarajasagar reservoir's water level steady, enabling routine water supply to Tamil Nadu.
The Krishnarajasagar (KRS) reservoir in Karnataka is maintaining a stable water level, officials said, as normal rainfall continues across the Cauvery irrigation command area.
The steady level has allowed the Karnataka Water Resources Department to continue regular water releases to the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu, meeting inter‑state allocation commitments.
The rainfall, described as moderate and evenly distributed, has helped replenish the reservoir without causing any surge or deficit, supporting both irrigation needs in the region and downstream water supply.
Authorities will monitor the monsoon outlook and adjust releases as required, but current conditions suggest no immediate concerns over water scarcity in the basin.
